Sacked minister's fate under discussion

Queensland's sacked assistant health minister could still be kicked out of the Liberal National Party, a minister has warned.

Chris Davis was stripped of his cabinet position last week after speaking out against aspects of the government's agenda, including changes to the Crime and Misconduct Commission and new work contracts for doctors.

Dr Davis has since claimed he raised concerns with Premier Campbell Newman about plans to ease restrictions on political donations, saying that was a factor in his sacking.

The Member for Stafford last week said he was considering his future with the LNP. On Monday, Housing Minister Tim Mander suggested that decision could be made for him.

"We'll find out what happens this afternoon after we talk about it obviously in the party room," Mr Mander told reporters on his way into the meeting.

Mr Mander said Dr Davis had never canvassed any concerns at cabinet meetings.

"What Chris has to realise is that if you continue to cry wolf, you'll eventually lose credibility," he said.

"It's no good roaring like a lion in public and being as meek as a mouse in the party room."

Energy Minister Mark McArdle said Dr Davis needed to decide for himself what was "most appropriate" for him.

"The LNP needs people who are going to support the LNP and understand what we're going to achieve for Queensland," he said.

"People who aren't prepared to do that need to rethink their position within the LNP."

Local Government Minister David Crisafulli said Dr Davis just needed to do his job as an MP.

"Dr Davis has got a job to do right now and that is to get back and work for his electorate. Full stop. End of story," he said.

Dr Davis is expected to make a statement about his future in the party this week in parliament.

A spokesman for the premier last week said Dr Davis had never raised any concerns about electoral donation laws with Mr Newman or Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie.
